The first VCR was 'probably,' made in the year- of 1968.
How can get my VCR number?
There will be a metal panel at the back with the number on it.
Why did your VCR reset its clock 1 hour forward?
hugh ?
If you have direct tv and a cable box a DVD a vcr with surround sound and you would like each one to be able to go through the surround sound how should you hook them all up?
I don't understand why you would have Direct TV (sattelite) and cable TV? However, it depends on the input/output combinations of each component. I have my coaxial cable from my sattelite to the sattelite in jack on the sattelite receiver, the out to TV coaxial from the sattelite receiver run to my VCR plugged to antenna in on the VCR and a coaxial cable from the VCR to the TV coaxial antenna in on the TV. That way, you can watch sattelite without turning the VCR on, but the sattelite receiver has to be off to watch VCR or VHS tapes. Then, run video patch cords (red, white and yellow) out of the DVD to the TV (if the TV has those types of inputs on the back) If you want all three components (sattelite, VCR and DVD) to run through surround sound and NOT the TV, run only the yellow video cord from the DVD to the TV. Run the red and white to the surround sound receiver for each component. Your surround receiver should have multiple inputs for sattelite/cable, VCR and DVD.
What electrical parts of a VCR get damaged by lightning?
Wow, a really vague question. OK, we'll work with it going from a well designed VCR down to a low-end model. High-end VCR's (and other electronic devices) have "Varistors" in them, often called MOV's ("Metal Oxide Varistors"). What are they? Think of them as keepers of a damn, and when the water gets too high, they close the damn. Varistors are rated by voltage and joules (the amount of current that it can't handle). So, for example, a high-end VCR might have a 130 volt or a 150 volt MOV in it. Normally, a MOV appears transparent to the electronics and the voltage, like it doesn't even exist. But, when the voltage applied to it hit's the threshold it is rated for, it shorts out (kind of like connecting two wires togeter), in an effort to protect the electronics further on. To prevent the device from blowing the fuse/circuit breaker in your house, a fuse is *always* added before the MOV, so that when the MOV blows (shorts out), it will force the fuse to blow (open), breaking the connection. So, in a high-end VCR, you would have to replace the MOV and the fuse. Sure, you could get away with just removing the MOV (they cannot be "reset) and just put in a new fuse, but that woudn't be doing it "right". Cheaper VCR's have a fuse and a power transformer. Fairly obviously, you would want to replace the fuse. The cheapest VCR's have power transformers that have built-in thermal fuses, that upon a surge, detect the increased heat and permanently blow. While one might be tempted to simply remove the thermal fuse, it could be a very signficant (and dangerous) act. Often when a transformer blows, some of it's windings get shorted together, creating increased current and therefore increased heat. Bypassing the thermal fuse is great way to get a visit from your local fire department. In this case you would first replace the transformer (and if the fuse if blown), and see how it works. If all holds well, you're fine. If it blows again, more circuitry is shorted (down the power supply line) and it would probably be a good time to get a new VCR.
What does the time lapse feature on the Lorex VCR do?
The time lapse feature allows for up to 1280 hours of recording, straight onto the unit itself. This is an advanced feature, eliminating the need for exspenive seervices and equipment, such as TiVo or DVR from a cable company.
The Lorex SG7965 is a time lapse VCR.Does it use normal VHS tapes for that?
The Lorex does use normal VCR tapes, it just uses a different playback mechanism to play them.
Does a Emerson EWV404 have a faster rewinding speed than a Lorex SG7965 Time Lapse VCR?
No. Both the Emerson and the Lorex have apprixiamately the same rewind speeds. This eliminates this factor as criteria to decide upon on which product to purchase, causing the consumer to think about the
How can you get for Star Wars VCR tapes?
Well, if you still have VCR i think its about time for you to get DVD player, Any who you can (maybe) get them from Ebay.
How the VCR affect advancement of technology?
vcr ( affects the advancement of technology in the time when it came though now it has become obsolete. vcr was the way where people could watch movies at home on there tv just like we do through a DVD player. that time it was a big leap in the technology. now in this time it has become obsolete. replaced by DVD player
What dvd/vcr combo will work best with my time-warner dvr?
Any DVD/VCR combo with a composite out will work great with your TWC DVR.
Which DVD/VCR combo players can record both at the same time?
Any of the DVD/VCR combo players that say DVD-RW will be able to record both.
What do VCR tuners do?
Same thing as a TV tuner, except that you're using it to tune your VCR into a specific channel instead of the TV.
Can a VCR clock's time change by itself if it does not have a automated system that might change it on its own?
It can if the power goes out while you're not home. If the power goes out some VCR's will go to all 8's and some will go to 12:00 and start telling time. If that happens it will look like it changed the time by itself.
Why can't you watch one channel and record another channel at the same time on your VCR?
it doesn't have a dual tuner
How do you hook up a surveillance camera to a VCR so that it can record while monitoring?
your camera should have some kind of output...just plug it into the VCR, get the vcr onto the right input to see the camera, set the VCR to SLP with a tape with a good amount of time you can record and set the vcr to automatically rewind when it reaches the end while recording. put one of the vcrs outputs to a tv and make sure the vcr is getting the input from the camera right. from there set the vcr on record. all done!
How do you take off the numbers on the top of the TV on your VHS?
If you are talking about numbers recorded onto the screen on your VHS VCR, which could be the channel number, time or recording counter, I would look for a button called 'display' on your VCR's remote.
